For metal fans, this sketch is a must-see, so check out the footage above. The folk group took it from there, performing folky renditions of Iron Maiden‘s ‘Run to the Hills,’ Black Sabbath‘s ‘Iron Man’ and perhaps funniest of all, Metallica‘s ‘One.’ With a fiery and evil background setting the scene for the Avett Brothers, the act banjo-ed their way through the tracks with a perfect near-deadpan style. Selling the record like a 3AM infomercial, Fallon introduced the songs included in the fictional Avett Brothers record.
Under the moniker of Steve Joshua, Jimmy Fallon sported a truly awful wig and hazelnut brown suit while introducing the world to ‘The Avett Brothers Sing Heavy Metal’ (see below). 30th edition of ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,’ the show’s host and musical guests collaborated for a piece of indie-meets-metal hilarity. It’s different, that’s for sure!Īre you an indie-loving hipster scared of listening to something manly? Are you curious about making the jump from flower-sniffing, ironic mustache wearing, jingle-jangle ditties to music with actual testosterone? Jimmy Fallon and the Avett Brothers have you covered. This is Volbeat alright, but not as we know them.Avett Brothers cover Metallica, Maiden & Sabbath. Something ancient and awesome lurks in The Sacred Stones and Temple of Ekur, and while Say No More offers a clear salute to Metallica’s Jump In The Fire, it’s still very much it’s own boss. Then, with The Devil Rages On, the band summon some dark soul of underworld psychobilly, but amp it up so it’s leering into your 21st century face. It’s pointless to pick on individual titles the guitar duo deliver maximum thrill throughout. Never before have Michael and fellow guitarist Rob Caggiano locked into their riffing with such controlled ferocity, and never before have the songs leapt from the page to the speakers with such creative zest. Volbeat – eight albums into a multi-platinum career – have nothing left to prove, and it’d be simple enough to endlessly re-write fan-favourites like Lola Montez and Still Counting.
Something must have happened to him during that strange time of isolation – a bite from a radioactive spider perhaps, or a whiplash from a ghostly, tattooed lady in leather. Frontman Michael Poulsen wrote this entire album during lockdown.
